Anotations

Scope note:

Coins with one or more holes. This characteristic is a post-minting alteration that does not respond to an official typology of a central hole. These perforations may respond to a process of demonetization (withdrawal from circulation) by the State or may be of a ritual, transforming the piece into an object of adornment or amulet.
